Dr. Reinhold admitted that Germany as borrowed amounts equal to her parations payments to date, but he lieves that the principle of long- lerm credits to stimulate productive nterprise is a sound one, and wiser the long run than to increase the ational taxes to a point which would tifle industry. “In the long run, such taxes as we ad for a few years after the war can- ot be borne by any people,” he said. Qur net revenues increased as soon taxes were reduced under the re- jrganization affected by the Luther binet in 1924. We are going on the eory that all expenditures for such projects as canals, roads and post Miices, which will benefit future gen- rations, should be met not from taxes ut from foreign loans.
